The countdown is on – there’s just one month left to submit entries for this year’s CiTTi Awards, with nominations closing at 5pm (BST) on Friday 22 August.
Now in its fourth year, the CiTTi Awards – organised by CiTTi Magazine – celebrate the public- and private-sector organisations enabling clean, safe and efficient movement of people, goods and materials through UK towns and cities.
Shortlisted entries will be judged in October by an independent panel of experts from across the British transport sector, with winners to be announced during a live ceremony at London’s De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms on Tuesday 25 November.
This year’s event will be hosted by acclaimed British stand-up comedian Lucy Porter, a familiar face from Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You, and QI, as well as a voice of BBC Radio 4 and co-host of the hit podcast Fingers on Buzzers.
Described by The Scotsman as “delightfully effervescent” and by Chortle as “charmingly sharp”, Porter will bring her wit and warmth to a room of 200 guests drawn from local, regional and central government, place stakeholders and project partners across the UK.
